| | | Another one for I.D. please :)
This is very considerately growing in a plantpot on my patio so I was able to take some half decent photos of it. There are three of them, about 1.5 inches tall and the top looks to have the texture of sponge cake (almost like 'rum baba'). I also took some photos of the underside so you can see the gills.
Thanks

Thanks | it's a Laccaria species - probably L. laccata - but what was growing in the plantpot please?
best wishes

It certainly could be L. fraterna Chris. We look forward to your microscopic analysis.

Chris | Hehe, OK Chris, I've got that on my 'To Do' list in big red letters  . I'll PM you when I've collected them.
Any idea how long they take to dry?
